Synopsis: Meet Elsa.  She's a lactose-intolerant cow.  Really.  Elsa's a good friend to Lil, her handywoman neighbor.  Plus, Elsa's got a secret unrequited crush...a big one.  Lil, meanwhile, has a curiously fascinating love life of her own.  Their world is populated with a mean little dog, a virtuoso cat, a yummy dish (of course), a chorus of lusty kitchen implements, a grumpy wishing star, and an aging silver spoon with a consuming desire of its own.  Therein lies the funniest, most fanciful, over-the-top tale of sex and obsession you will ever have the pleasure of hearing.
